I need straight forward advice

In the long run... whats 170 bucks? You'll be happier with the Billies.

 

You guys are right, Billies it is. You TW guys are good at what you do lol. I'm convinced it's worth it.

 

Now that I'm adding Billies I need to start doing more research on them. Anything I should know off the bat? And what the maximum lift achievable with Bilies in the front and nothing in the back without getting too unlevel

 

I didn't really plan on doing anything to the back. I've heard that just adding a couple inches in the front and leveling the truck gives it the more aggressive look Im going for. Remember I'm just doing this for cosmetics

 

You probably learned to "like the way a taco sits up a tad higher in the front" because you have no choice, as long a you have the weak, saggy, brittle stock rear suspension. That's the first thing i would replace before, spacers, shocks etc. To do otherwise would be like building a house on a weak flimsy fondation.

 

This......if you have to wait a little longer to save the coin it will be worth it if you plan on keeping your truck for any length of time.

Plus with the adjustable fronts you could go even higher down the road if you get the funds/ambition to lift it a little more and/or get bigger tires.

 

The rear springs suck yes, but OP said he uses it as a DD and that's it.
With the 5100's setting them at .85 or 1.75 will bring you closer to level. I'd personally set them at .85 and keep just a little rake.

 

Ok thanks for all the advice what is .85 vs 1.75? Does the new my front end will only be lifted .85 of an inch or 1.75 inches? And what's so bad about the rear? Agin this is a daily driver and as it stands now I love the ride quality that I have. Not that I know any better but I'm fine with my current quality I just want my truck to sit a little higher because I think it looks better.

 

Ohhhhh...So how much can I lift the front without it sitting too uneven with the back?

 

I have the Bilsteins at one notch down from the highest setting and the truck looks and rides good. I vote no spacers. It's well worth the little extra in install cost to do the shocks.

 

1.75" is highest you should go

Why is it that you get more lift than the .85 & 1.75 on the settings?
